I like this list, but really ~ you love the smell of gasoline? And I’m trying to do # 7 as well, travel where I’ve never been unless Greg hasn’t been there before. Any places you’d recommend for Hawaii? Maybe next year, that can be a destination… And the ending to your list, # 50 is perfect.

The Sell Out

This Is Me

I think of myself as though I'm a pretty typical hipster kinda gal. I feel like I'm younger than I am and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. For now, I'm working part-time "for the man," but more importantly, I'm a mom to a daughter, The Little Miss (TLM) and a wife to The Husband. We live in an area of the country where being anything bigger than a size 6 is considered unacceptably large and in a town where movie stars live.
I've always been the Big Girl. Growing up it was because I was taller and "big boned." Now I'm the Big Girl because I'm fat. At one time I loved being the Big Girl but now, not so much.
This blog is my way trying to be a part of a community that can help each other through our struggles to be who we really are. For me, it's still being a Big Girl just not of the fat variety.
